Index-Galena Road Milepost 6.4-Milepost 6.9

Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and Snohomish County propose to design and construct the Index-Galena Road Milepost 6.4 to Milepost 6.9 project. Index-Galena Road was damaged by river high flows in 2006. The proposed project would construct repairs by relocating the damaged roadway further landward from the North Fork Skykomish River. The repaired roadway would restore essential travel and prevent future damage to the roadway. The repaired roadway would re-establish connectivity for property owners, emergency service providers, recreation users, and U.S Forest Service personnel accessing private and National Forest lands in the upper North Fork Skykomish River valley. FHWA, with the consent of the U.S. Forest Service, would grant an easement for approximately one mile of new roadway easement across National Forest land.
